Wednesday presents an over-the-top moment in presidential pistillate propaganda.

As noted before, the GOP is bringing a couple of self-made Silicon Valley sisters to add feminine fervency to the Republican convention. By design, having the female face of the Elephant Party presented by Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina — a couple of double tough gals — is a boon to their acceptance by the more civil half of our species. Add McCain’s wife Cindy — another woman who seeming flosses with barbed wire — and you have one ornery ovary fest.

And now Sarah Palin is on the same dais and night.

Think about this for a moment: Cindy McCain is the weakest woman taking to the microphone on Wednesday. The estrogen overload builds as Whitman (the founder of eBay) and Fiorina (former head of global technology giant Hewlett-Packard) address the nation.

Then Palin hits the stage.

There are few accidents in convention politics, and the GOP’s extreme showing of feminine force is a case study. Republicans may earn a few votes from undecided women, though they may scare the Sam Hell out of weaker male members (a better trade as far as I am concerned).
